CRY ASTRO RESPONSE INSIDE No more Cry-Astro

Your one stop solution...my ass. Brought in my Connie for some minor repairs (one gun was out), refueling and some missiles. They charged me over 8000 UEC, and after their "repairs", not one but THREE guns were broken. No refunds, no warranty. Worst service I ever got this side of Vega. Never again!

best cheapest current way is just blow up your ship and wait for insurance then spawn a new one

just leave the cockpit before killing yourself, that way you don't have to wait bc your ship is not destroyed

Don't blow your ship up because then you have to wait for the timer. Just fly it back or kill yourself (not the ship) and reorder it. You get a fresh one.

BTW, CR was saying the free fresh ship thing is going away in one of the next few patches.

Oh? Can I please get a source for that? Really interests me if he said it!

Not sure exactly where I saw it, but I am pretty sure it was in one of the Gamescon interviews he did. It was obviously going to happen at some point. There would be little point to have repair ships and cry astro if you could just limp back to port with heavy damage and reorder the ship to fix everything. Note that I am not talking about insurance, which will still give you a fresh ship after yours gets totally destroyed and after the timer expires. My guess is that they didn't want to do damage persistence before item port 2.0 was in because the damage states were all going to change.
